9. GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED BY 2016

10. PLANNING 2014 – 2016 02 reporting cycles implemented (2015 y 2016) 01 List of Chemical Substances revised, updated and agreed upon with the assistance of the Chemicals Substances Technical Group - GTSQ, comprising representatives from the public, private sector and civil society groups. 01 Georeferenced database of industrial establishments available to the public. 01 Ministerial resolution regulating the operation of the PRTR approved. 05 Emissions calculators are made available to industry to estimate annual concentrations of chemical substances produced by the following activities: fish meal, fish oil, canned fish, ferrous and nonferrous smelting 30 government employees trained in the administration and use of PRTR data. 05 national business organizations (unions) informed about the RETC.

11. 15 Nongovernmental Organizations use PRTR data to promote responsible environmental citizenship 1500 citizens have been directly informed about the responsible use of PRTR data. At least 200 industrial establishments have received direct technical assistance for the preparation and reporting of information to the PRTR Information from at least 100 establishments that has been collected and verified with the participation of the appropriate environmental authority. PLANNING 2014 – 2016 Estimated Investment 2014 - 2016: USD $350,000.00

12. ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS: CITIZENS SENSITIZED 2014: Fair Access to Information Plaza San Martin - Lima 2014: Presentation at the COP20 Sustainable Cities Pavilion, Voices for Climate The country declared December 13 as the national day of action against chemical pollution

13. ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRIES Training workshops for industries (Lima, Lambayeque, Ica and others) Training to Iprisco fishing industry (Ica) Training workshops for industries in Piura

14. ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS: TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO INDUSTRIES Training materials to industries in the calculation of emissions, with methodologies : Mass balance, emission factors, continuous monitoring, batch monitoring and engineering calculations.

15. Training emissions calculation, issued by Mexican expert Activities and Results: technical assistance to industries and government staff

16. CONCLUSIONS

17. The PRTR is a very useful tool for the country to facilitate access to information on the location of industrial establishments and pollutant release; the target audience, therefore, is the citizen, and should not be considered a tool for monitoring and control of industrial establishments. It is important to build trust among stakeholders (business, civil society, and the state) due to the multiple interests surrounding the generated information. A clear strategy should be defined to raise society’s awareness about the responsible use of information released by the PRTR. The PRTR should be integrated with other systems for the registration and dissemination of environmental information in the country (monitoring networks, surveillance systems, etc.), thus achieving efficiency in environmental management. Emissions Calculators are a very useful tool to help companies to reduce their efforts to estimate pollutant releases, especially at small- and medium-enterprise level.

18. Reporting to the PRTR should be mandatory; specific rules to determine institutional competencies, economic activities and processes that should be reported, and reporting frequency should be developed. When disseminating information, the target audience should be taken into account and the context of the information should be clear in order to strengthen citizenship and reduce social tension that could lead to conflict. The PRTR should be implemented nationwide and should incorporate data on pollutant releases and transfers that are considered a priority for the country. The design should be focused on pollutants from fixed industrial sources. Mechanisms for the interoperability of public entities that handle similar registers aimed at companies should be establish to avoid the duplicity of effort.
